Default Most Insane Bands Ever

My Pick : Prussian Blue
Lynx and Lamb Gaede


Aren't They CUTE???

Now the lowdown on them:




The group has strong ties to the National Vanguard organization, a white nationalist group formed by disaffected former members of the National Alliance. Their ideology has been described as racist and white supremacist in nature by many organizations: however, in their own words they say they are just proud of their heritage.

According to an article from ABC News, the girls were homeschooled by their mother, April Gaede, an activist and writer for the white activist organization National Vanguard. The article further discusses the twins' maternal grandfather, who wears a swastika belt buckle, uses the Nazi symbol on his truck and registered it as a cattle brand. The twins have a baby sister named Dresden. Though the family was originally located in Bakersfield, California the twins' mother has sold their home because she prefers to raise her children where more whites are represented.

During their ABC interview, the twins said they believe Adolf Hitler was a good man with great ideas, such as eugenic standards and incentives to improve the genetic quality of the German people, and marriage loans to help qualified German families begin upon a firm financial basis. In the interview, the twins described the Holocaust as being exaggerated.

They describe their ancestry as English, Scottish and German. The band was named after the color Prussian blue, as a reference to the girls' Prussian heritage and their blue eyes. They also stated that they think Prussian blue is "just a really pretty color". In an interview with viceland.com they added: "There is also the discussion of the lack of 'Prussian Blue' coloring (Zyklon B residue) in the so-called gas chambers in the concentration camps. We think it might make people question some of the inaccuracies of the 'Holocaust' myth.".

They have recently been criticized for stipulating that money they donated to Hurricane Katrina victims should go only to white people.

It is reported that "their on stage antics include executing the Sieg Heil salutes".

There was a band called Dodo Ressurection in the late 60s.

Their lead singer would drop huge amounts of acid before gigs which was pretty ordinary at the time.

After a while his behavior became more & more erractic & he took to going onstage dressed up as a doctor & would end gigs by drinking bottles of formadehyde.

The band also recorded a debut album on their own label but ended up burning most of the copies.

The last copy of their album go come on the market sold for £10,000.

When told about it their ex guitarist replied he wouldn`t spend 10p on a copy it was so bad.

I have no contributions to this thread at the moment, but I am referencing this cute little duo (like TATU, but with undertones of genocide!) in my music/politics essay. *gets excited at the myriad of possibilities* Phukkers, where shall I begin!?!?

Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem:




The Electric Mayhem is the name of a Muppet rock band that appeared on The Muppet Show. Following The Muppet Show, they have appeared in various Muppet movies and TV specials, and have also recorded album tracks. Dr. Teeth was designed by Jim Henson, while the rest of the original band members were designed by Michael K. Frith. Their most famous song was "Can You Picture That?" from the 1979 film The Muppet Movie.

The band consisted of Dr. Teeth (band leader and piano), Janice (guitar), Sgt. Floyd Pepper (bass guitar), Zoot (saxophone) and Animal (drums). In season five, Lips joined the band (trumpet). Animal, Floyd, Zoot and Janice also played in the Muppet Show pit band, performing the opening and closing themes and underscoring most of the Muppet Show performances. Rowlf the Dog was the pit pianist, however.


Members

Dr. Teeth
Dr. Teeth is the keyboard player and gravelly-voiced leader of the band. He has a gold tooth that he claims he fashioned by melting down his gold records, a scruffy beard, a fur vest, a striped shirt, and a floppy purple top hat. Although it wasn't always made clear, Dr. Teeth was meant to be a spider (his other arms were only occasionally visible). A running gag on the show — due to the mechanics of working a puppet's arms from below, often a two-man job — was Teeth's arms stretching to ridiculous lengths while playing his instrument. Jim Henson based the character, which he designed and voiced, on the musician Dr. John.

His speaking roles got much smaller due to Jim Henson's death, but Dr. Teeth's first major speaking role since Henson's death was in Statler & Waldorf's very own show, Statler and Waldorf From the Balcony.


Janice
Janice is a lead guitar player. She usually wears a brown hat with a turquoise gem and a feather. This flower girl was involved with Zoot in season 1 of "The Muppet Show", but paired up with Floyd Pepper starting in season 2. She also acts in sketches periodically, most notably as wisecracking Nurse Janice in "Veterinarian's Hospital", a recurring parody of medical dramas. She speaks in a "Valley girl" sing-song voice. Janice was performed by Eren Ozker during the first season of "The Muppet Show", then she was voiced by Richard Hunt until his death in 1992. Her name is an homage to Janis Joplin. After Hunt's death, her character was faded back to brief non-speaking background appearances until the 2002 TV movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, in which she was performed by Brian Henson.


Janice is the only member of the band apart from Animal to have appeared on the animated series Muppet Babies. In her single appearance she was portrayed as slightly older than the main characters, and able to read. Her hippy philosophy was already intact.


Sgt. Floyd Pepper
Sgt. Floyd Pepper plays bass guitar. A laid back hippie-type with a pink body and long reddish-orange hair, he usually wore a green army cap, or sometimes, while in the pit, a slightly fancier cap of stiffer, glittery material, and a red uniform with epaulets and ornate gold braid on the buttons. His name refers both to Pink Floyd and to the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. His jacket is a clear visual reference to the album. He is performed and voiced by Jerry Nelson. Floyd's pink colour is a little insider joke, and a reference - he is a Pink Floyd.


Zoot
Zoot is a green, balding, blue-haired saxophone player with dark glasses and a high-crowned blue felt hat, and was generally a laid back fellow of few words. (Oddly enough, Zoot spoke much more in the first season, where he was often seen dancing with Janice in the "At The Dance" sketches.)


Zoot on The Muppet ShowPerhaps his best line came in The Great Muppet Caper, when the gang is planning to stop a group of crooks from robbing a museum, and trying to get their supplies together unsuccessfully.

Fozzie mentions a particular item ("wax lips")
Zoot says, "Man, I just had 'em!"
"Did you leave 'em in your other pants?" someone else asks.
Zoot comes back: "I don't have no other pants!"


Zoot's claim to fame was playing the final off key note to the end theme of the show, then looking into his saxophone with a bewildered expression, checks his music and gives a satisfied nod and looks around at the other musicians and gives the same nod. Curiously, the note played is the lowest note on the baritone saxophone, and most of Zoot's other playing has the sound of a tenor saxophone, while his instrument appears to be an alto.

His name comes from "zoot suit", a large-shouldered, taper-waisted, gaudy garment popular in the 1940s. It is alternately possible that his name comes from Zoot Sims, a great jazz tenor saxophone player. Others believe that he is based on the great blues saxophonist Lou Marini. Zoot's appearance seems to be an amalgam of Latin tenor saxophonist Gato Barbieri and Frank Tiberi, longtime member and current leader of the Woody Herman big band. Yet another version is that Zoot is based on tenor-sax player Yaroslav Yakubovich, Israeli jazzman, who immigrated to the USA and continued his stage career there during the 1970s. Zoot is performed and voiced by Dave Goelz.


Animal
Animal is the drummer. He has also appeared on the Muppets Tonight show, as well as the Muppet Babies cartoon and all the Muppet movies. During performances, Animal is usually chained to the drum set, as his musical outbursts are extremely violent.

Animal: [roars]
Floyd Pepper: Oh, yeah, that's Animal. Show 'em what you do, Animal.
Animal: I want to eat drums!
[chews on a cymbal]
Dr. Teeth: No, no, beat drums, beat drums!
Animal: Beat drums! Beat drums! [beats the drums with his head]

He opts to wear football shoulder pads instead of a shirt (when he is not in his maroon band uniform). Despite the antics, Animal was a very good drummer, and was able to hold his own with legends such as Buddy Rich. [1]


Animal on Extreme Makeover: Home EditionHe usually speaks in grunts and monosyllables, and has a violent temper. Animal bowls overhand. He has been depicted as a literal skirt-chaser (in The Muppets Take Manhattan, he chases a female co-ed out of the auditorium, chanting "Woo-maaaan!" after her). He also chases cars. Animal is performed and voiced by Frank Oz while his drumming is performed by Ronnie Verrell.

Fans of The Who's drummer Keith Moon claim that the character of Animal was based on Moon, who was known for his wild antics. However, there is no evidence in the original sketches for the character that suggest that he was based on anybody in particular. Three of the other members of the Electric Mayhem were created by Muppet designer Michael K. Frith, and the sketches reproduced in the book Of Muppets and Men show that they were based on famous musicians. Dr. Teeth is a cross between Dr. John and Elton John; Sgt. Floyd Pepper is based on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album, and the original concept for Janice was a skinny, long-haired male character based on Mick Jagger. Animal, on the other hand, was designed by Jim Henson, and the rough sketch (also seen in Of Muppets and Men) doesn't appear to be related to any real musician.

A regular schtick is that when someone says a figure of speech to him, then Animal turns to the audience, his eyes go wide and then he goes berserk taking it literally. For instance, Jim Nabors once gave the traditional theatrical good luck wish to Animal, "Break a leg," and Animal decided to indulge him by trying to break Nabors' leg.

In the movie The Great Muppet Caper, it is revealed that Animal has a passion for impressionist paintings, especially those of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

In the movie Muppets from Space, Animal meets his match in the form of a security guard played by Kathy Griffin - after chasing her down a hallway with his "Woo-man" call, she later returns with him, with Animal acting submissive and sheepish, and lets him go (after reminding him to call her and blowing him a kiss).

Ty Pennington commented that Animal had ADHD, when the character was appearing on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. This fact is disputable, as the appearance can easily be considered not part of the Muppets canon.


Lips
Lips, a hippie, joined Electric Mayhem for several numbers in the latter episodes of the series, playing the trumpet. Marked by his yellow afro and goatee, and a permanent squint, Lips was never considered by fans to 'really' be a part of the band. His appearances on the Muppet Show were few and far between, and when he did appear in the episodes or the later movies, never did anything that drew audience attention to him



That's the Mayhem you were thinking of right??

Mayhem is a seminal black metal band formed in 1983 and based in Oslo, Norway. The name "Mayhem" was derived from the title of a Venom song, "Mayhem With Mercy". Much controversy has followed the various murders, suicides and other forms of violence that have surrounded the band since its inception.

Over time Mayhem has evolved through a variety of black metal styles, delving at times into areas of dark avant-garde industrial and electronica. Highly influential, the group (at least in its earliest incarnation; 1983-1993) is widely considered to be one of the cornerstone of the black metal movement.


Early Years (1983-1990)
Mayhem was founded in 1983 by guitarist Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth (then called 'Destructer')), vocalist Messiah (Eirik Nordheim), bassist Necrobutcher (Jørn Stubberud) and drummer Manheim (Kjetil Manheim). When Maniac (Sven Erik Kristiansen) replaced original vocalist Messiah in 1987, the band went on to make their third recording (following two demos) and a first EP Deathcrush. By this time Mayhem's sound had developed from their initial death / speed metal influences to arrive at a sound more distinctive, dark and unique. Though maintaining the usual death metal obsessions in gore and violence, a more sinister preoccupation with religion and satanism had begun to emerge. An initial release of 1,000 copies (on their own label Posercorpse Music) quickly sold out and was later successfully repressed in 1993 by Euronymous' label Deathlike Silence Productions.

During the summer of 1988 both Manheim and Maniac left Mayhem; Manheim to get a 'real job', Maniac following a failed suicide attempt and later confinement in a mental institution. Their positions were filled by vocalist from Sweden Dead (Per Yngve Ohlin, previously of Morbid) and drummer Hellhammer (Jan Axel Blomberg). Dead (as suggested by his stage name) was strongly fascinated by death, decay, and darkness, with even Euronymous describing Dead as mentally unstable and possibly schizophrenic.

Dead had gained considerable notoriety for strange behavior; he had once buried a set of clothes underground for months so that he could wear the decaying rags onstage. He had also kept a rotting raven in a plastic bag so he could "inhale the scent of death" before performing on stage. Dead's morbid fascinations and antics further infected Mayhem' new musical atmosphere, at this point the band's lyrics were moving increasingly toward Satanism, darkness, depression and evil.

The new lineup with Dead and Hellhammer was quickly to become the band's most notorious. After some live gigs in Norway and Germany (where Live in Leipzig was recorded), Mayhem started working on their first full length album: De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (Lord Satan's Secret Rites), though by the time of it's eventual release two cornerstone members would be dead.


Death of Dead (1991)
By April 1991, Dead was dead, aged 21, having inflicted a self administered shotgun wound to his head and several lacerations to his wrists.

"Dead didn't see himself as human; he saw himself as a creature from another world. He said he had many visions that his blood has frozen in his veins, that he was dead. That is the reason he took that name. He knew he would die..." "Occultus (Stian Johannsen)" (Who briefly took position as vocalist after Dead following his suicide)

The bullets used had been sent to him by Bergen, Norway musician Varg Vikernes (Kristian Vikernes, aka Count Grishnackh, ex Old Funeral, sole member of black metal band Burzum, later convicted murderer of Euronymous).

Dead's body was discovered by Euronymous in a house shared by the group in Ski, just outside Oslo, along with a suicide note containing the uncharacteristically humorous quip "Excuse all the blood". Euronymous took a number of polaroides at the scene, some of which later appeared in the booklet of subsequent Mayhem release Dawn of the Black Hearts.

Euronymous was unusually cold and opportunistic about Dead's suicide; in interviews he claimed that Dead had killed himself due to the rising popularity of death metal. He also claimed to have collected and forged fragments of Dead's skull into necklaces. In 1992 Euronymous set up his gendre record shop "Helvete" (Hell) in Oslo, specialising in "EVIL records for EVIL people".

"We've had a couple of 'actions' in churches lately, and the shop is going to look like a black church in the future. We've also tought about having total darkness inside, so that people would have to carry torches to be able to see the records."

"Euronymous"


Death of Euronymous (1993)
In 1993 Live in Leipzig was released as the band's tribute to Dead. The release was followed by the aclaimed bootleg Dawn Of The Black Hearts, though against Euronymous's wishes, the release being driven by the bands label. Following police and media attention Necrobutcher left Mayhem, thinning the band's ranks down to two.

Later that year, the recording of Mayhem's upcoming album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas resumed. In Dead's and Necrobutcher's absences, Attila Csihar handled vocals, and, chillingly, Vikernes played bass. Euronymous by this stage owed Vikernes 30 000 NOK (for album sales and related costs), which he refused to pay back, a fact argued over in public on several occasions.

On the morning of August 10th 1993, Vikernes traveled, along with 21 year old Blackthorn (Snorre Westvold, of the band Thorns), the seven hours between Bergen to Euronymous's apartment in Oslo. Upon gaining entry, he stabbed Euronymous to death with a knife. The autopsy revealed that Euronymous had suffered twenty-three stab wounds: two to the head, five to the neck, and sixteen to the back.

Though initial suspicion pointed towdards members of the Swedish scene, Grishnackh had left key pieces of evidence, a copy of a recording contract (used as the pretense for his visit to Euronymous) stained with his bloody fingerprints. Within days Grishnackh was apprehended by police and charged with murder. He continued to record for his one-man project Burzum while in prison. With only Hellhammer remaining, Mayhem effectivly ceased to exist.

Every band that GG Allin played with.

Because to be on the same stage as GG Allin, you would either have to have a lot of balls or you would have to be out of your damn mind.
